MRKH syndrome

Being born without a uterus, with normally functioning ovaries.

Female fertility

In Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome the ovaries work normally and produce eggs, so genetic parenthood is possible through IVF with a gestational carrier where surrogacy arrangements comply with Canadian law. Kidney and skeletal differences sometimes coexist.

Also known as: MRKH, Müllerian agenesis, born without a uterus
